Britney Spears Gets Another New Lawyer

In the ongoing legal saga that has become her life, Britney Spears has reportedly hired yet another lawyer to represent her in her many legal affairs. And his name is Jon Eardley.

Eardley has been working on the current situation in the “Gimme More” singer’s life - the issue of who should be in control of her well-being, finances, and rights.

He told press, “I see the case as a civil rights case. These are issues of confinement. Very serious confinement. Not allowed to contact her friends. Not allowed to use the phone. Not allowed to come and go as you please. Bodyguards controlling you and so forth.”

But according to an uninvolved legal expert, Eardley may be causing more harm than good. “The saddest part [of the legal maneuvering] is it is all to [Britney’s] detriment. The limited conservatorship puts in place medical care and protection of her assets that may be put at risk by the distraction and expense of having to get such an opportunistic and counterproductive action dismissed.”

He continued, “It’s not like the judge read papers filed by one side and made decisions without giving each side due process. It would be quite surprising if the federal court granted a hearing on this, and a total shocker if it ruled against the conservatorship.”
